next to the proudest day OF his life,
when he recently presented to the
Academy of Sciences, the report of
the English committee of Physiolo-
to officially inquire into
his system and work their unani-
nous testimony to his success; and
more, the possibility of still farther
extending his method to other kin
bred diseases in man, as well as do
nestle animals. Pasteur in his
speech, CALAMITY thanked his CO.
savant across the silver-streak, for
their precious confederation OF his
labors, extending over so many

or less will make no difference. In

we are now, and where the route
across the isthmus will be opened,
| As to the chronic rumors respect
ing his health, they are absolutely
